Israel says no to Gaza inquiry

Israel has dismissed the UN fact-finding mission’s recommendation that the Israeli government launch an independent investigation into “serious violations” of international law during last year’s war in Gaza. Journalism Professor Bob Zelnick, a former ABC News Middle East correspondent and author of “Israeli Unilateralism: Beyond Gaza,” says the UN report authored by South African jurist Richard Goldstone misses the mark.

“The Goldstone report is yet another example of how the UN’s anti-Israel bias has deprived it of any meaningful role in the peace process.”
